What shall we do with this group.

What shall we do with this group.

Hello,

one or the other might remember, I'm one of the panotoolsNG moderators.

Our lovely and once so active PanotoolsNG group seems almost dead. Although we still have 1900+ members and some requests for approval each week apparently no one dares to ask or write something. Where has all this activity gone? To Panoramic Photographers on Facebook? Or to the PTGui and hugin groups?

However, how shall we proceed? I guess I'm not the only one who still reads the group and is willing to answer. So why not simply revive it? Or shall we close it alltogether? What's your opinion?

Please reply anyone, even if you don't have an opinion. I'd just like to know how many still read...

Re: What shall we do with this group.

Hi Erik,

I still read, but agree that it's not nearly as active as it once was. Part of that may be due to the relative maturity of the group and the tools as well.

Maybe I'm sentimental, (or just mental), but I vote for keeping the group. At some point, we'll have a new wave of technology that will spark a fresh round of conversations. Perhaps VR video will be that.

Re: What shall we do with this group.

Hi Erick,
I'm probably not one that you would remember at all, but I still
download the mail from this group. I was active here way back when you
had the difficulties with the old group and moved to the ng group. I
was learning how to do pano's and gleaned alot of great and valubable
info from this group. However, I started getting "snotty" replies from
select members who seemed to think they were the total all knowing. Any
question asked should be answered respectfully and without making the
person asking the question feel like a complete idiot.

So I stopped posting and just read the mail...got my questions answered
from other sources and now operate profitabley in my own niche...
So if you decide to keep it active, maybe you want to look at the
attitude of those who reply to members questions...Take a look at the
southern "experts"

Re: What shall we do with this group.

what about a real forum / board instead?

This yahoo group is really outdated.

Re: What shall we do with this group.

I have benefitted from this group, thank you all. I've Ben able identify
some excellent photographers and view their work online. I don't feel savvy
enough to respond to questions. I use a Canon 5d with 8mm sigma and the
Manfrotto panorama head. I wonder with new cell phone pano apps whether
there commercial markets is diminished. Plus the RTV Tours and other online
platforms what the directions are for the future. With that in mind I hope
this group gets re-energized.

Re: What shall we do with this group.

I read the list and will continue to read it. I don't have as much time anymore to reply to many questions. If the question is basic and I answered several times before I hope that someone else will speak up.

When the question is new idea and I have something to share I will.

When traveling, when I am now I spend even less time reading this list. Facebook I read all the time.

The Wiki is our best resource. It needs to be updated with new topics.
